WHO approves Covaxin; WHO DG, scientists congratulate on achievement

As the WHO-approved India's indigenous Bharat Biotech COVID vaccine Covaxin for emergency use, WHO DG Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and Chief Scientist Soumya Swaminathan on Wednesday extended their wishes for achieving this feat. 

WHO's approval for Covaxin is quintessential as it would facilitate international travel for those inoculated with it to countries where a vaccination certificate for WHO-approved vaccines is mandatory. This approval also opens avenues for Bharat Biotech to export Covaxin.
